installing front disc brakes
wondering if anyone ever put front disc brakes on a 56 ford. there are kits out there, but i am not looking to spend a 1000.00 bucks. seems everything is cheap for chevs, expensive for fords? there must be some direction to go without spending a fortune. thanks

Here's a Nova drum to disc conversion using old parts.
Cutting the old drum spindle boss off allows a disc setup to bolt on.
You could do something similar???

You can use 75-80 Granada/Monarch/Versailles brakes on your 56. Mostly a bolt in. Uses the G/M/V spindles and brake assemblies. The Granada and Monarch spindles need some slight mods in the lower ball joint hole, I understand the Versailles do not need it.

Thanks For The Info On The Brakes. Kinda Hard Finding Those Cars In The Bone Yards Around Here Though. Thanks Again
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
